I have a number of return customers who
are collectors or professional musicians, they recognize that vintage MIJ
Acoustic Guitar are on average far better value than today's brand new guitars.
There are others who buy from curiosity or are buying based on reviews from
sites like Harmony Central. For 1st time purchasers of
a MIJ guitar it is only after purchasing and playing one of my vintage guitars
such as Yamaha, Tokai, Terada, Morris and Suzuki that they appreciate the fine
quality and sound. In many cases the build quality and sound of the models that
I offer is far superior to that offered by new modern high-end solid wood
models. Typical of the feedback associated with these guitars on Harmony
Central is that they give 'a beautiful warm full sound when strummed, clear and
bright when picked', and 'very easy and a pleasure to play’.
The Vintage Japanese
guitars 'MIJ' that I offer are:
1. Selected as being representative of the best of their
period, they are high quality craftsman built instruments and display a high
degree of hand finishing.
2. Selected because they provide good Resonance and Balanced
sound, in some case better than modern solid wood guitars. Dependant on
manufacture they vary between sweet, vibrant or strong and rich tones.
3. Selected because they are manufactured using very a high
grade of materials and the construction shows a high degree of craftsmanship.
Standard models make use of very high-grade laminates while up market models
use presentation grade solid seasoned woods in their construction.
I personally examine and carefully clean, polish and set
up each guitar and I ensure that they are properly packaged so that they arrive
safely.
Please review my feedback and the testimonials provided by
happy and satisfied customers who now enjoy vintage MIJ guitars.
I am confident that you will also be happy to have this
